I dont think our illegals in the USA will get much sympathy from here on in.
I would love to see the person who behaved in such a fashion sacked but as usual it will never happen.
I have just been listening/reading about the IRISH immigration official who sent back 3 usa citizens on the basis they did not have sufficient funds BUT would not LOOK at one of thier online bank accounts!!
thats not what they said on the last word this evening.Immigration didnt need to look at the bank account as it had insufficient funds. The 3 of them were intending to live here for 1 year and pay for their return tickets with only $10,000 and no work permits to allow them to work. $10,000 is about €7,500. So you think that it would be possible for a single person to live in Ireland for a whole year for €2,500 per person and still have enough change to buy a plane ticket back to the USA?

I just caught the last few min but it seems that they had no notion what they were here for, were planning on Scotland and maybe England and arrived with a phone number and no address to give to emigration. They also had not enough cash - except one had a credit card who bought the other the ticket home. He seemed to think that because he could buy the tickets on credit that it demonstrated he was able to support himself. I think our media has blown it out of all proportion - how many people are returned to Ireland each year??
I don't think a bunch of nigerian lads coming over with no money, no return tickets, no work permits, etc would get much attention.
Another focus seems to be don't p*ss off the americans because they are rich, it's really pathetic.
There were multiple reasons for refusing them entry apparently (one-way tickets, no address over here, no jobs back in the US, etc.) They simply hadn't done their homework in relation to the entry requirements and were rightly sent back.I have just been listening/reading about the IRISH immigration official who sent back 3 usa citizens on the basis they did not have sufficient funds ...
"Isn't daddy WFAA contributor Walt Zwirko? Interesting if that is the case and it's not revealed in your reporting."
I have to say fair play to them. An Irish person wouldn't even been allowed to board a plane to go to the States if they couldn't provide an address etc never mind get there. I can see American immigration's response if I said I was Couch Surfing
